explicit manner. The Joint-Indicators cover, among others, the work of sector masterplans, initiatives to boost levels of investment and localisation in the economy, expanding trade within the continent, enabling better local economic development, supporting the growth of new industries (in the green economy and through beneficiation) and building a capable state. In respect of Joint-Indicator 7 for example, all public entities will be required to review their procedures, timeframes for delivery, forms to be filled in and public communication of services to simplify these, make processes expeditious where possible, remove unnecessary red-tape where these exist and make it easier for users to access services. Greater coordination between technical regulators and the sharing of resources and expertise is also required, to build excellent institutions.

This APP is therefore not about many new objectives but rather on a new way of implementation, with the focus on integration, to enhance the development impact of the work. I therefore endorse the work to align the APP of NMISA with the national priorities and accordingly table the APP for NMISA in accordance with the request by the Speaker.

Mr Ebrahim PatelMinister of Trade,Industry and Competition

Date:

This Annual Performance Plan (APP) of the National Metrology Institute of South Africa (NMISA) has been prepared by the management for consideration

by the Executive Authority and tabling in Parliament. The Annual Performance Plans (APP) of public entities identify the outputs, output indicators and targets that an entity aims to achieve in the new financial year. The Executive Authority is responsible to ensure the APP is aligned with the Strategic Plan, the institution’s mandate and government’s priorities and to provide direction on the development and implementation of strategic priorities and policies.

The Covid-19 pandemic changed the landscape within which DTIC-entities operate and they are therefore expected to adjust their operations to address the new environment and new priorities. There is an urgent need to boost levels of economic growth and economic recovery, support transformation and build a capable state.

In particular, the APP for the 2021/22 financial year will need to reflect the policy priorities set out in Budget Vote statements tabled in Parliament during this Administration and those that arise from:

• The Economic Recovery and Reconstruction Plan tabled in Parliament in October 2020 by President Ramaphosa;

• The priorities set out in the 2021 State of the Nation Address;

• The new performance compacts between members of the Executive and the Presidency signed in November 2020; and

• The New District Development Model as an integration of development efforts at local level.

This APP is tabled and updates to the Plan – when these are effected – will be tabled in Parliament in due course, taking account of the above.

As the practical means to ensure alignment between APPs and policy priorities, the Annual Performance Plan for the DTIC itself has sets out the requirement to ensure integration between the work of the department and all public entities that report to it. Seven new Joint-Indicators (J-KPIs) have been developed for the DTIC that contain the major policy priorities and these are expected to be included in the work of the NMISA, with progress against these to be reported to the Ministry on a quarterly basis.

NMISA will be expected to show how, within its legal mandate, it has contributed to the achievement of the outcomes for the following seven Joint Indicators (details of which are contained in more detail in the APP of the department itself):

• Joint Indicator 1: Integrated Support to Drive Industrialisation

• Joint Indicator 2: Contribution to the development of an AfCFTA Export Plan

• Joint Indicator 3: Investment Facilitation and Growth• Joint Indicator 4: Development Model and Spatial

Equity• Joint Indicator 5: Actions to Promote Transformation• Joint Indicator 6: The Green Economy and Greening

the Economy • Joint Indicator 7: Strengthening and Building a

Capable State

In this way, the combined efforts of all public entities will begin to be aligned to the national priorities in a more

FOREWORD BY THE MINISTER

31 March 2021


NMISA NMISA

The NMISA Strategic Plan and

APP are aligned with the implementation and acceleration of the dtic’s Reimagined Strategy.

• Green economy interventions• Strengthening agriculture and food security• Strengthening the capacity of the State• Skills development• Economic Diplomacy, and further integration into the

African Continent

The Board is committed to ensure that NMISA makes a valuable contribution to the 6th Administration’s plans to grow South Africa’s economy through industrial development and strengthening of South Africa’s trade and investment links with key economies.

Ms Jabu Mogadime Accounting Authority

NMISA, an entity of the dtic, underpins all accurate measurements for the country and region. The organisation was established by government under the Measurement Act to link South Africa to the International System of Units (SI). This link is crucial in providing the necessary quality assurance to South Africa’s trading partners, regionally and internationally, and is crucial in negating technical barriers to trade. As part of the South African quality infrastructure, NMISA keeps, develops, maintains, and disseminate the National Measurement Standards. The role of this Institute will become more pronounced with the AfCFTA coming into effect, as the need for continental leadership in measurement science will be vital to protect South Africa and the region from an influx of sub-standard products into this lucrative, newly unified market.

“This is Africa’s moment to build resilient, innovative economies on the back of the large markets that the free trade agreement puts in place. It will take dedication and disciplined implementation over the next few years to fully realise the benefits” Minister Ebrahim Patel (4 January 2021)

NMISA is in its 3rd year of implementing its 5-year strategy for the period 2019/24. The key focus for 2021/22 is to develop Applied Metrology, which expands on the entity’s core scientific metrology product and service offerings.

NMISA is on track to realising its strategic objectives for this period, although faster progress is needed in the efforts to entrench metrology as key support infrastructure in the regulatory environment.

The year 2020/21 brought unexpected challenges as the response to the COVID-19 pandemic forced the organisation to implement remote working for most of its employees, whilst maintaining a safe working environment for necessary onsite work. This has been done successfully and the productivity gains from a more flexible work environment will be incorporated into post-pandemic work processes.

The organisation will continue working with the various government departments and regulators to provide fit-for-purpose measurement services in support of local manufacturing, health and safety, food safety, energy security, telecommunications, and environmental protection.

The NMISA Strategy is aligned with the implementation and acceleration of the dtic’s Reimagined Strategy, with a specific focus on the following;

• Employment orientated strategic localisation, reindustrialisation and export promotion

• Energy security

– MS JABU MOGADIME

OVERVIEW BY THE CHAIRPERSON


NMISA NMISA

• Conformity Assessment Support (reference measurements and standards for agricultural

processing activities, food safety, medical audits and quality control, and safety in industrial processes)

• A National Training Centre (training and consultancy services to local scientists,

engineers and technologists, and professionals from other regional measurement institutes)

The COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented changes to the operations of NMISA. A robust IT system allowed the Institute to implement remote working almost instantaneously while safety protocols were developed and implemented to ensure that NMISA can keep laboratories operational to continue measurement support for essential national services. Technical projects have been reprioritised to aid the national response to the pandemic, allocating resources to projects on ultraviolet germicidal disinfection studies, guidance on accurate infrared temperature screening for COVID-19, reference mixtures for medical gasses, chemical analysis of sanitiser solutions and the calibration of ventilators. These measures will continue into the 2021/22 financial year.

Maintaining the year-on-year growth rate in performance outputs whilst responding to the pandemic within the financial constraints, is achieved through accelerated implementation of a matrix organisational system, as well as implementation of a new enterprise resource planning system effective 1 April 2021. This allows the organisation to apply it resources optimally, upskilling employees where needed, in order to respond to changes in its business environment faster and more effectively.

While acknowledging the severe economic impact brought about by the pandemic, we are mindful of the opportunities that it presented to review and adapt our way of work to be more efficient and conducive to transformation into a digital economy. Our resilience is driven by dedicated employees working together and joining all South Africans in proudly building local and regional capacity.

Mr Ndwakhulu Mukhufhi Accounting Officer, NMISA

This year, the National Metrology Institute of South Africa enters the third year of growing its business under its ambitious five-year strategic plan defined

in 2019/20. Its objectives of: enhancing measurement services for regulatory development and compliance; consolidating metrology support for SOEs to ensure efficient shared services; expanding its capabilities to provide new, niche measurement solutions - beyond calibration - to industry and especially SMEs; aligning with the legal metrology function in South Africa to support the Legal Metrology Act; and leading the development of internationally recognised measurement infrastructure on the continent to support the implementation of the AfCFTA; have already delivered significant returns. NMISA achieved increased value to its clients and stakeholders, resulting in an 83% increase in income from rendering of services from 2016 to 2020. This whilst being committed to good governance, maintaining an unqualified audit opinion with no findings for 4 years.

This deliberate change in strategic direction has positioned NMISA well, as a capable state entity, to

Good decisions depend on good

measurements in almost all aspects of social and economic activity: from production to trade, from science to education to job creation, from medical diagnosis to treatment, from regulation to law enforcement.

contribute meaningfully to the Government’s Economic Reconstruction and Recovery Plan. I echo President Cyril Ramaphosa’s statement to Parliament on 15 October 2020: “Our recovery will be propelled by swift reforms to unleash the potential of the economy and supported by an efficient state that is committed to clean governance. It will be transformative. It will be inclusive. It will be digital, green and sustainable, and it will invest in our human capital to lay the foundations for the future.”

Good decisions depend on good measurements in almost all aspects of social and economic activity: from production to trade, from science to education to job creation, from medical diagnosis to treatment, from regulation to law enforcement. As the highest authority on accurate measurement in South Africa, NMISA’s focus for 2021/22 will be to apply measurement science to enhance local industrial capability, reducing reliance on imported commodities and expertise, in the following sectors:

• Materials Metrology and Services (supporting local, additive manufacturing, and materials

beneficiation)

• Agriculture, Food and Environmental Monitoring (enabling local farmers and producers to meet food

safety and export regulations; aiding reliable air pollution data)

• Health and Safety (providing for reliable results obtained from medical

instrumentation to facilitate accurate diagnosis and correct treatment, especially in response to the COVID-19 pandemic)

• Energy Efficiency (measurement support for the evaluation and

implementation of energy saving and clean energy technologies; measurement services to assist in assuring the stability of the national electricity grid)

• Digital Economy (reliable telecommunication devices; high-accuracy

time synchronisation of digital events; data consumption measurement)

• Law Enforcement (accurate blood alcohol measurements, accurate speed

measurements, reference materials for forensic analysis (illicit drugs) and contributing to consumer protection in trade)

MANDATE

“The successful execution of NMISA’s mandate relies on a competent, healthy, and sustainable workforce.”


NMISA NMISA

1. Vision

To be the leading metrology and measurement centre of excellence on the African continent, connecting Africa to the World

2. Mission

To consistently deliver outstanding innovative and internationally comparable measurement solutions that support regional and international trade, people’s quality of life, and enable the protection of the environment

3. Values

• Quality• Measurement excellence• Social responsibility• Economic prosperity • Good governance

4. Updates to the Relevant Legislative and Policy Mandates

NMISA was established and is fulfilling its legal mandate under the Measurement Units and Measurement Standards Act, Act No. 18 of 2006. In 2018, the international metrology world took a unanimous decision to revise the SI, which came into effect on 20 May 2019, internationally recognised as World Metrology Day. In accordance with the Act, Measurement Units and National Measurement Standards, including new updates, are gazetted. NMISA is responsible for maintaining the Measurement Units in accordance with the revised SI and ensuring that all international developments in units are appropriately legislated.

The dtic has initiated a revision of the Measurement Act to align it with the latest international and local best practises. The main aspects to be addressed include: the role of NMISA in providing measurement services and traceability to government departments; measurement facilities (police forensics, department of health forensic laboratories, department of transport law enforcement agencies, etc.); and the provision of metrology shared services to SOEs. Finally, better alignment with the Legal Metrology Act will be considered.

ACT PURPOSE

Legal Metrology Act, (Act No. 9 of 2014)

The Legal Metrology Act provides for the administration and maintenance of legal metrology technical regulations to promote fair trade, for public health and safety, the protection of the environment and to provide for matters connected therewith. NMISA has extensive metrology laboratories, standards, and equipment, together with a solid base of scientific metrology skills, knowledge, and capacity to support Legal Metrology in health, safety and environment measurements.

The Disaster Management Act No. 57 of 2002

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in South Africa, NMISA re-prioritised its technical projects to allocate resources to projects on ultraviolet germicidal disinfection studies, guidance on accurate infrared temperature screening for COVID-19, reference mixtures for medical gasses, chemical analysis of sanitiser liquids and gels and the calibration of ventilators. These measurement service offerings enable local manufacturers to meet product specifications and quality standards to reduce dependence on international supply. The pandemic has highlighted the importance of a quality infrastructure and the need for reliable metrology services.

ACT PURPOSE

Hazardous Substances Act, No. 15 of 1973, Regulation No. R. 247, 26 February 1993

NMISA provides measurement traceability and calibration of equipment used for monitoring of ionising radiation.

The Civil Aviation Act No. 13 of 2009

NMISA provides measurement traceability contributing to safety and security throughout the civil aviation industry as well as measurement training courses for aviation technicians.

The Foodstuffs, Cosmetics and Disinfectant Act 54 of 1972 as amended

NMISA value assigns elements in food matrices and provides proficiency testing schemes in support of food labelling as required and published by the Department of Health regulations relating to the labelling and advertising of foodstuffs.

Independent Communications Authority of South Africa Amendment Act 2 2014

The introduction of remote working arrangements to minimise physical contact between people while the COVID-19 pandemic is prevalent, has increased the demand for stable and reliable mobile data services at an affordable cost. Those employees, students and learners who have ready access to mobile data in sufficient quantities to support their work or learning activities, have a distinct advantage over those that do not. NMISA has signed an MOU with ICASA to establish a joint project to investigate and develop a verifiable mobile data measurement solution to enable independent end user verification of the accuracy of mobile data usage statements.

Court Rulings The Hendrik’s Judgement in the Western Cape High Court in September 2011 led to the newly revised SANS 1793: 2013 (The specification for evidential breath analysers).

The Hendriks Judgement meant that no evidential breathalysers were calibrated in South Africa from 2011. Following on this review, tests were completed on a new generation breathalyser required by the SANS regulations and NMISA now calibrates the new breathalysers in support of law enforcement.

The withdrawal of all criminal proceedings against a motorist caught speeding using a specific measuring device in the case of the State vs Zabeer Khan in May 2019.

To address the requirement for measurement traceability for speed measurement devices, NMISA established a facility to calibrate such equipment as there is no other local facility that can calibrate to the new specification.


NMISA NMISA

5. Updates to Institutional Policies and Strategies

NMISA is a Type 3A public entity, managed by a Chief Executive Officer (CEO), supported by an executive management team and governed by the NMISA Board. The organisational structure is shown in Figure 1 (Part B). The structure of the Executive Management level was changed to reflect the Strategic Goals set out in the Strategic Plan 2019-2024:

Strategic Goal 1: Metrology for Regulatory purposes and in support of government laboratories: for compliance and for development of regulations.

Strategic Goal 2: Metrology consolidation for SOEs to provide efficient shared services.Strategic Goal 3: Metrology for Industry including assistance to SMEs to provide appropriate services in support of

manufacturing, beneficiation and export.Strategic Goal 4: Strategic alignment with the legal metrology function in the country to enhance the application of

advanced scientific and applied metrology to support the implementation of the Legal Metrology Act.

NMISA has identified and prioritised measurement projects that support the quality assurance of locally manufactured and imported products essential in the national effort to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. It supports the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic at all levels that require accurate measurement and is at the disposal of any national project where it can make a substantial contribution with its international networks and access to expertise worldwide.

NMISA is developing health screening scanners that will incorporate different health measurement parameters beyond only surface temperature in the screening process. The NMSs for these different parameters are ready to support measurement for the development of locally manufactured devices. NMISA also offers the following services that can contribute towards the fight against COVID-19: ultraviolet germicidal irradiation measurements; analytical services for evaluating sanitising solutions; primary gas (oxygen) reference mixtures (oxygen as required in treatment protocols, etc.); calibrate oxygen flow; provide advice on the procurement and use of screening devices; and provide assistance and calibration for and acts as a consultant to the procurement and use of temperature and other measurement devices to government and the private sector.

The successful execution of NMISA’s mandate relies on a competent, healthy, and sustainable workforce. To provide for the safety of all employees, NMISA implemented new protocols including remote working for most employees, while maintaining a safe environment for necessary onsite work. The pandemic also highlights the importance of adaptability and the urgency of South Africa’s move towards the 4th Industrial Revolution.

6. Updated Situational Analysis 6.1 Organisational Structure

One of the roles of NMISA is to ensure that measurements performed nationally (and regionally) are accurate and internationally acceptable. This enables trade, component manufacturing, the legal acceptance of measurement results for law enforcement, accurate measurement in environmental monitoring and safety, and health care.

NMISA was established under the Measurement Units and Measurement Standards Act, No. 18 of 2006 (The Measurement Act) to provide for the use of measurement units of the International System of Units (SI) and to designate other measurement units for use; to provide for the designation of the national measurement standards (NMS); and to provide for the keeping and maintenance of the NMS.

NMISA has established an organisational structure that supports the effective delivery of this mandate and reflects the Strategic Goals set out in the NMISA Strategic Plan 2019-2024. The organisations current Governance Structure is presented in Figure 1.

NMISA’s management has restructured the organisation’s strategic goals into functional areas (divisions) within its matrix structure to ensure the maintenance of the National Measurement Standards (NMS) in support of Scientific Metrology and to optimise the dissemination, standardisation, reference measurement and calibration to industry by streamlining Applied Metrology into a separate division with dedicated centres. This is necessary to ensure confidence in measurement and underpins a client centric approach, by aligning the organisation and projects to deliver on the new client strategy. This is facilitated through its calibration, measurement, and training programmes to ensure traceability to internationally recognised standards, through mutual recognition agreements with many other countries and organisations and in support of Legal Metrology and our South African Regulatory Framework.

Figure 2. Technical Organisational Structure

NMISA will continue to perform research and develop activities in thematic programmes to deliver outcomes such as improved NMS, certified reference materials and measurement solutions to industry in a matrix structure. Benchmarking at regional and international level to establish the required level of NMS and services for the South African and regional economy is also captured in the thematic programmes.

The Strategy, Business Development and Governance Division guides new business development, provides market and impact information that is required for decision making, facilitates client service delivery and ensures legislated reporting to the shareholder.

The dissemination and measurement services are coordinated in dedicated sector-based Centres under the Applied Metrology Division. Quality infrastructure interaction, international liaison, and regional integration are conducted by the Regional, International Relations and Innovation.

6.2 Performance Delivery Environment (external)

The trade of goods and services around the world is the lifeblood of the global economy, and is increasingly important to domestic economic growth, productivity and investment opportunities. For customers to consider trade to be fair and benefit from it, for component manufacturing to be effective and efficient and for effective health care and the protection of the environment, measurements taken in different parts of the world need to be accurate, equivalent to each other, and accepted by each country. Important decisions (economic, environmental, social and medical) are based on measurement results.

Recently the COVID-19 pandemic has shown the important role of NMIs and the global measurement network to quickly respond to challenges of locally producing treatment or protective equipment. NMISA contributes to these national priority programmes, all government key priorities and the National Development Plan (NDP) and has aligned its key programmes to the re-imagined Industrial Strategy and the goal of the National Industrial Policy Framework to “help prevent” industrial decline and support the growth and diversification of South Africa’s manufacturing sector.NMISA has a very specific role in this context: without a measurement infrastructure it is difficult for the country to manufacture to international specifications and tolerances, and to ensure the integrity of commodities, locally and for the export market. Competitive manufacturing relies on accurate, internationally comparable measurement that is achieved through the establishment of the “traceability” of the measurement result to the SI or internationally agreed references.

South Africa is a signatory to the Metre Convention, a treaty dating back to 1875. Under this Convention the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) was created to act in matters of world metrology, particularly concerning the demand for measurement standards of ever-increasing accuracy, range and diversity, as well as to address the need to demonstrate equivalence between national measurement standards. The SI was also established under the Metre Convention and is overseen by the International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM). The whole system is governed by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM), whose members are the states that signed the Metre Convention. South Africa acceded to the treaty in 1964 and in 1999 NMISA signed the CIPM Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA). The CIPM MRA gives users reliable quantitative information on the comparability of national metrology services and provides the technical basis for wider

agreements negotiated for international trade, commerce, and regulatory affairs. It is the basis for the international acceptance of National Measurement Standards and for calibration and measurement capabilities (CMCs) and calibration and analysis certificates issued by NMIs.

As the custodian of the South African NMS, NMISA develops and maintains primary and secondary standards for South Africa and establishes their comparability to other national measurement standards. These standards are disseminated to South African industry through a range of services and products and in the case of a measurement dispute, reference analyses are provided to ensure conformity.

Regionally NMISA is the main provider of traceability to the SI for Sub-Saharan Africa and in response to the African Continental Free Trade Area, is developing measurement capabilities that would be required nationally and for Africa, in a custom-free trade area.

Nationally NMISA aligned its activities to the Re-imagined Industrial Strategy Plan of the 6th Administration, with a specific focus to support the dtic’s goal of building mutually beneficial regional and global relations to advance South Africa’s trade, industrial policy and economic development and build the state’s capacity. NMISA has aligned its activities with Government’s Economic Reconstruction and Recovery Plan, as well as with the District Development Model to assist government in improving inclusion.

NMISA strategic goals (page 18) as planned in the Strategic Plan 2019/24 were designed to support 6th Administration efforts to accelerate economic growth, support regulation to build a capable state, consolidate shared resources and assist SMEs. The Goals align to the National Development Plan and the dtic Strategic Objectives, and contribute to the MTEF. This is done through NMISA’s 8 Applied Metrology Centres (Client Offerings), deriving traceability from the NMS realised within the two Technical Divisions and enabled by the output from the research and development projects in the Thematic Programmes.

Technological advances over the past decade are placing stringent demands on metrology. New areas in metrology, such as nanotechnology, optical techniques, quantum-based technologies, and material sciences, are developing rapidly and require new measurement methods and measurement standards. In response, NMISA is investing in and actively pursuing opportunities for collaboration with their international partners and peers to pool resources.

6.2.1 International and Regional Participation

NMISA ensures that the interests of South Africa, SADC and Africa are protected at the highest possible level internationally. The CIPM has established ten Consultative Committees (CCs) to oversee and arrange for the comparison of national measurement standards. The CCs bring together the world’s experts in their specified fields as advisers on scientific and technical matters and are pivotal in the arrangement of key comparisons that compare the measurement capabilities and determine the measurement equivalence of national measurement standards. NMISA has full membership of nine of the 10 (ten) CCs, guest membership of the 10th (Consultative Committee for Units) and membership of the CIPM. NMISA’s position has further been strengthened through NMISA’s own Dr Wynand Louw holding the strategic position of Presidency of the CIPM.

Membership of the CCs allows NMISA to give input to strategies and participate in the comparison of NMS and measurement capability at the highest international level, i.e., a direct comparison to the NMS of developed countries and developing countries, which includes all the major trading partners of South (and Southern) Africa. In the absence of membership of a CC and its working groups, NMISA will have to wait for a second round of comparisons in a Regional Metrology Organisation (RMO) such as AFRIMETS, where the “second tier” NMIs compare their standards. As the only NMI in Africa with membership of all the CCs, NMISA provides the link to the international measurement system for Africa and thus plays a leading role in the development of metrology infrastructure in Africa, especially in support of South Africa’s immediate neighbours in the SADC. This is crucial for successful implementation of regional free trade agreements. This role is emphasised in the dtic’s strategic goals and South Africa’s contribution towards mutual acceptance of testing results in the region (Regional Integration).

NMISA uses its leadership role in SADCMET and AFRIMETS, the sub-regional and continental RMOs, to ensure that the interests of the country are protected and that trade deals are fair and just.

6.2.2 The Technical Measurement Environment

Participation in international activities at Consultative Committee and Technical Committee (CC and TC) levels serves to benchmark South Africa’s capability to compete in measurement equivalence that directly impacts on our

ability to disseminate traceability to the country. To do this, metrologists must be extremely proficient at measurement science and techniques. It also requires sophisticated techniques, time, funding and planning to respond to the international call for participation with assured availability of scientists and laboratory resources. This must be balanced with national collaborative projects and research projects that are on-going as part of the performance requirements for each laboratory.

Training and development of young scientists remains critical as metrology skills are not readily available in the market, especially among young black professionals. An integrated training and development plan was created to assist each metrologist, whether experienced or new in the field, in improving skills and ensuring a pipeline of young metrologists through the bursary program, training in metrology and internships. These young professionals are provided with skills suited to industry and where possible appointed as metrologists. It is in the ambit of those young professionals to grasp the learning opportunities afforded them.

6.2.3 The National Role

The NMSs maintained and disseminated by NMISA directly or indirectly underpin the daily activities of South Africa on almost all levels. As one of the dtic’s Technical Infrastructure (TI) entities, the activities of NMISA are critical to the success of the other TIs. Standardisation, metrology, conformity assessment and accreditation are the key factors in the implementation of free trade agreements between countries or economic trading blocks. NMISA develops new NMSs and services in line with industrial requirements and contributes to the implementation of the AfCFTA. NMISA provides measurement services to enable several acts and regulations, ranging from the Occupational Health and Safety Act (Act 85 of 1993) to the Atomic Energy Act (Act 90 of 1967). It serves the more than 1 300 accredited commercial laboratories in South Africa and provides measurement and measurement assistance to over 400 industrial companies.

The national significance of NMISA is illustrated by the fact that South Africa has a credible, domestic measurement system that facilitates and ensures trade, commerce, manufacturing, services and consumer and environmental protection.

6.3 Organisational Delivery Environment (internal)

6.3.1 The Organisation

NMISA manages its Research and Development activities through a matrix structure and programmes.

Maintenance of the national measurement standards is performed in two technical Divisions, namely:

• Chemical, Materials & Medical Metrology; and• Physical & Electrical Metrology.

The dissemination activities (products and services) are delivered by the Applied Metrology Division through the centres whose main clients are government laboratories, SOEs, academia, industrial and regional laboratories (refer to Figure 2), as well as businesses that require traceability services.

The research and development of new products and services (including new and improved NMS) is coordinated through projects that are run in the NMISA thematic programmes and handed over to either the Applied Metrology Division (Service to Clients) or the Technical Divisions (Maintenance of NMS) upon conclusion. The multi-disciplinary Project Teams are constituted from the different NMISA technical areas and support services in order to fully benefit from the advantages of a Matrix Organisational Structure.

The thematic programmes are:

• Green Economies• Manufacturing Competitiveness• Quality of Life• Reference Materials• Revision of the SI• Energy Efficiency• Advanced Measurement Solutions• Regional Integration

The strategic partnerships with organs of the Metre Convention, Higher Education Institutions, Research Institutes, the Technical Infrastructure, regional and international institutes, and knowledge management, are managed by the Regional, International Liaisons and Innovation Division. RIID ensures that NMISA is appropriately linked to the international metrology fraternity, fosters collaboration with other NMIs and source funding from development partners. It coordinates the

activities of NMISA in the other Technical Infrastructure institutions and manages the relationship with the sub-regional (SADCMET) and regional (AFRIMETS) metrology organisations.

The Strategy, Business Development and Governance Division coordinates the implementation of the NMISA strategy plan, guides new business development, monitors client service and satisfaction, gathers market intelligence and coordinates marketing and sales. The Division supports the products and services disseminated through the Scientific and Applied Metrology Divisions. The technical activities are further guided and supported by the Finance and Corporate Services Divisions.

NMISA adheres to a total quality management system managed by the SHEQ office; that coordinates all matters relating to accreditation of technical competencies, health and safety of staff, and the environment. A total of 19 laboratories are accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 by SANAS. In addition, two laboratories are accredited against ISO 17034 to produce certified reference materials. Accreditation to ISO/IEC 17043 (for conducting proficiency testing schemes) has being attained for the laboratories providing PTs. NMISA has further achieved certification of its occupational health and safety (OH&S) and EHS management system guided by ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001.

6.3.2 Technical Activities

NMISA delivers its services through:

Calibrations: Delivering direct traceability to the national measurement standards (NMS), NMISA serves the accredited calibration and testing laboratories by performing calibrations to the highest accuracy (smallest uncertainty). Calibration is also provided directly to industry in cases where there are no accredited calibration laboratories, or when the desired accuracy can only be provided by NMISA, or where a new service is needed in a very short time.

Reference Measurements and Certification of Reference Materials: NMISA provides reference measurements and analysis according to its calibration range and services. In addition, NMISA has built capability to value assign chemical samples and gas mixtures for customers, including purity. This capability allows NMISA to produce pure standard CRMs or calibration solutions and Primary Reference Gas Mixtures (PRGMs) that are internationally recognised and accepted.

Measurements, Testing and Analysis: NMISA offers advanced measurement services to industry. This includes method development for customers to assist with problem solving and performing analysis in support of research projects.

Training and Consultancy: The expertise residing in the staff of NMISA is an important contribution to the development of a skilled and capable workforce through training in measurement science. NMISA assists SADC and Africa in capacity building by providing consultation services and training to their metrologists and providing a national metrology Training Centre for South African metrologists and analysts. Special development projects to assist SMEs have been created. NMISA staff also participate as invited lecturers in graduate courses at numerous universities, and NMISA is the official partner of the Metrology and Applied Science Research Unit (MeASURe) of the University of Cape Town.

9. NMISA Performance Indicators

NMISA has adopted the balanced scorecard approach to set and measure performance targets. The scorecard addresses the maintenance of the National Measurement Standards and the administrative support provided to ensure the organisation achieves its. Four key components are addressed, namely international agreements and participation, stakeholder/ customer (technical), organisational development (learning and growth), and financial and business process perspective.

National obligations: NMISA provides for the use of the measurement units of the SI and certain other units, the designation of national measurement standards and units, and for keeping and maintaining the national measurement units and standards. This also includes improving existing NMS and methods and developing new NMS, secondary standards and new reference methods.

International participation and equivalence: As part of the Metre Convention system, NMISA ensures international measurement comparability by participating in the activities of the CIPM. This includes active participation in the Consultative Committees and demonstrated measurement capabilities as published in the BIPM Key Comparisons Database (KCDB).

Internal organisation (learning and growth) perspective: Internal growth perspective addresses human resources, thereby demonstrating the organisation’s capacity to deliver on its mandate by maintaining a skilled, competent and transformed work force. Key priorities include:

• Improve core skills and qualifications• Reduce employee turnover• Transformation• Improve job satisfaction • Improve internal communications in the HR function

11. Infrastructure Projects Recapitalisation

The NMS and other standards are continually reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the South African industry through engagement with industry and stakeholders through technical advisory forums and participation in national interest forums. “Typically, the accuracy required of national measurement standards doubles every ten years.”

NMISA is located on the CSIR’s Scientia Campus, occupying the metrology laboratories. NMISA became a tenant of the premises in 2007. With no major building infrastructure investment in its history, the building infrastructure has reached its technical limit of modifications. Infrastructure related incidents over the years hamper NMISA’s ability to develop new NMS and to maintain and/or improve the existing NMS to levels required by industry.

In response, NMISA motivated for a recapitalisation of the NMS and new building infrastructure and a PPP Project was registered at National Treasury. The transaction advisor and the project officer were appointed for preparation of a feasibility study towards re-capitalisation. With the assistance of the PPP Unit of National Treasury, a feasibility study was finalised for the best model for the new building infrastructure, and for a sustainable model for the continuous upgrade and maintenance of the NMS.
